I wanted to get a little climbing tower for my cats, but they're insanely expensive. So here's what I'm wondering:
•Is it worth it to simply build your own tower?
•If so, what do I need to build one?
Here is a god step by step guide:

"We have been watching, because nationally people keep talking about how some shelters have been inundated with animals because of the economy. We haven't seen that," Tiefenbrunn said.
She said 910 cats were surrendered to the shelter this year, compared with 1,186 last year. The shelter received 857 dogs in 2009, down from 1,010 in 2008.
"We're continuing to get the word out about pet overpopulation, spay and neuter, responsible pet ownership," Tiefenbrunn said, adding she hopes it is helping reduce the number of pets dropped off at the shelter over time.
She also noted there are more resources for dealing with problem behaviors in pets, and nationally people are spending more money on their pets.
"That indicates people are really bonding with their pets and making them part of their families," she said.
Adoption numbers for cats and dogs from the Champaign County Humane Society are virtually the same as last year, she added.
Contrast that with the Vermilion County Animal Shelter.
Adoptions there are down considerably, said Mike Lucas, the county's chief deputy auditor who has been overseeing shelter operations since October.
Lucas said adoptions in November 2009 were down by about 53 percent for dogs, when compared with November 2008. For cats, the change was even more drastic, with 90 percent fewer adoptions this November than in November 2008.
Only five cats were adopted from the shelter in November 2009, compared with 53 cat adoptions during the same month last year.
And more pet owners are surrendering their animals to the shelter. It took in close to 20 percent more animals than it did in 2008, Lucas said.
"I'm hearing quite often, 'I've lost my job. I got laid off. I just can't afford them,'" he said. "When it comes down to feeding your kids or feeding your animal, the animal gets the short end. Rightly so, but I hate to see it."
Both shelter officials are proud of the number of animals they've sent to rescue facilities.
